    Are there any bed racks that are compatible with the Gator EFX tonneau cover?

    I can't speak specifically to the Gator, but I run Elevate T-Slot rails and racks with my Bakflip MX4 which looks to be basically the same cover.
    Works great.

    Maybe I'm missing something here... (happens a lot, just ask my wife.)

    A tri-fold's not gonna' open with most of those, will it?

    Not dissin' your products at all btw, they look badass... just when I think of something being "compatible" I think of full operation and utility.

    That was the problem I went through when figuring out my tonneau/rack combo, there's very few options to run racks with a hard tri-fold tonneau.

    Correct, with most "overlanding style" racks, you would not be able to open a tri-fold, but that's the trade off that most people accept.

    If you want a rack that will allow a trifold cover to flip open, you would need something like this: https://www.max-modular.com/toyota-...sent-11/utility-rack-for-tonneau-covers-arlwc

    Ahhh, gotchya... it was the "trade-off" part that threw me. The retractable covers would be the way to go with overlanding racks. It'd frustrate me to not be able to open the cover.

    Good looking racks!

    Retractables are extremely nice.

    Thanks for the information. I’m looking for something to haul a couple kayaks along when I go camping.

    What about a roll-up weathertech bed cover? Would any rack system work with one of those?

    We have a version of our VRS that is specifically for kayaks, it just isn't on our website yet:

    I believe all of our racks would be compatible with that cover.

    What is the total width of your cover?

    Can you post a couple pics of it?
